Potential slayers can take to the streets of the Gaslamp District or explore the San Diego Convention Center on July 21 to find “vampire nests” in a treasure hunt of sorts to win “Buffy” swag.

“At each location, fans will be rewarded with a wide-range of prizes including ‘Buffy’ Funko figures, posters, stickers, pins, T-shirts, comics and much more,” according to a news release about the hunt.

Fans who want to participate can sign up to be part of the Scooby-Gang at Shop.Fox.com. While fans don’t need a Comic-Con badge to participate, some locations in the Convention Center will only be accessible to those with badges.

After RSVPing to the hunt, fans should receive all clues and a map by email by July 18 that they can put to use between 1 and 5 p.m. on July 21 after they print out or pick up their official “Slayer Card,” according to the first clue email.

“Slay each Vampire, collect a reward at each Nest, and collect all stickers and receive a Slayer Reward at the end!” according to the email, while supplies last.

A fan meetup is planned at the last nest location, but details regarding what will take place after haven’t yet been released.
